    I never thought of the slave trade as such an issue, given the slave trade ending was not for at least 25 years plus later....extend this to the final conclusion of the civil war etc. but an interesting take. It is often forgotten that the Brits were actually far more instrumental in ending it...

    Large Government Out of Place in a Society Based on Small Technology

    Interesting however let us not forget a lot of this small personalised technology is designed mainly for big data and corporate selling. It largely only works because its adopted en mass. If the whole argument of the article hinges on this quote below then we still have large technology at work...

    Trading options - How to have an edge?

    readings for what - there is a lot of ground you want to cover? random markets, option pricing theory, market supply and demand dynamics for market markers..... There are plenty of books recommended by others....but there is no substitute for making your own notes and scenario testing with...

    ISIS and beheadings...

    for those interested in a read from one who is not a fan of any religion (Sam Harris)....summed up by "Religion produces a perverse solidarity that we must find some way to undercut. It causes in-group loyalty and out-group hostility, even when members of one’s own group are behaving like...

    I thought you had a European language, similar institutions to those developed in Europe, populated largely by a European mix of peoples and religion that originated in its current form mainly from Europe....you have gone a different path, but you were not the first to develop many of the ideas...

    NRA Hijinks

    This is an interesting point. .....and I am just rambling here as food for thought with some wine....so take it as you like. What about the view that the American war of independence had very little to do with militias, taxes etc. This was more the romantic notion history gives it. It had more...

    Thats probably true, or of course maybe a student shoots the teacher....to me a lot of the debate of guns is actually about price. What price are you willing to pay to have guns, and what price are you willing to pay if you dont. Other than that I am not so sure why everyone gets so worked up...

    I was worried my favorite ice cream store that does top grade home made ice cream is closing for the winter.....what to do! Solution: stock up. The wife then bet me that if I bought 10 half liter tubs of very fine quality ice cream - that they would NOT last more than a month in the fridge...

    Trading options - How to have an edge?

    If edge is about direction then it does not matter about all the other factors so much... you simply pick the instrument that will give you the most bang for your buck. I have said it before, and repeat.....edge when talking about options is often incorrectly/poorly used. Option pricing edge v...

    A glimpse of what today's conservative really is

    just take the land from people already here and give it to the new arrivals. Its been done before....save on welfare at the same time..... perfect.

    Trading options - How to have an edge?

    Celebrate - that might be a good result. very briefly... 1) not everyone applies rule number 1. Option prices are relative to other option prices --- that is usually where an 'edge' is. 2) which is why the expression picking pennies up in front of a steam roller came about. 3) keep reading :)...

    Cowards!

    actually if you had a brain in your head.....you might realise that I never compared the UK to the USA. I gave it as an example. I also never mentioned illegal immigrants. Just that people who are immigrants go there not for the welfare but for the work even though the welfare is higher and...

    Beaten for acting white
